How’s your dung gate?
Neh 1:11-13 the refuse (dung) gate…
Every living thing needs a way to remove waste – from the cellular level to the most complex organic systems. Dung is a sign of LIFE! It is inevitable, but failure to remove that waste becomes toxic.
Our body is designed to filter out waste and remove it from our system, and it lets us know when it is time to release it. Our hearts also communicate to our bodies when we need a release of toxic thoughts.
Prov 4:20-23
We are walking in true heavenly wisdom when we are experiencing the fruits of that wisdom. Wisdom has been found when we are free to love without hindrance.
Two keys to a healthy dung gate:
1. Mind your heart’s diet by changing your mind
Rom 12:1-2 …transformed by the renewing of our minds

we are hard-wired for love. We LEARN fear by choosing to give it a place in our heart. our bodies respond positively to love, and negatively to fear (which is the mother of all demonic thinking)
